Image and Architecture

p { text-align: justify; } "In publications dealing with the history of art or architecture, the quality of works is often assessed in isolation, which can be detrimental. In his book, Aleš Navrátil explores precisely the phenomenon of the mutual influence between art and architecture and the historical development of this process, from the earliest cave paintings to modern architecture and art. This richly illustrated book serves above all to remind us how urgently humans need a high-quality environment for a fulfilling life and development, an environment that can only be created through high-quality architecture and art. Aleš Navrátil (1946-2019) was a university lecturer (he taught at the Faculty of Architecture of the Brno University of Technology), but he also drew on his many years of artistic experience as a graphic artist, painter and occasional sculptor."
